Reed Stewart owe their lives to the fact they wete involved in two automobile c61)i$k>ns instead of one. Their car burst into flames after it was struck from the rear by another machine. Almost immediately, however, a second car crashed into the Stewart vehicle. The impact threw the couple clear of the blaze. Sfic others in addition to the Stewarts were injured in the three-car pjleigp near Bingham. Louis Marshall McCannon lived and died in the* field he loved most. He died in the line of duty, following a career that developed during his early youth, from his dreams as a boy. Marshall McCannon was air-minded, he would rather tinker with air crafts--or perform his duty tor Consolidated Air Craft company as chief pecbanic--than eat Marshall McCannon's life story Is typical of that of any great man; he worked to achieve a position in America's foremost major industry, he started from the ground floor and worked his way np. from one position to another. Marshall was on the wing of becoming on oatstaaling figure In the manufacturing of airplanes. He was McHenry county's barefoot boy of the aviation field. But Marshall McCannon died Tuesday morning of injuries sustained when a twenty-five ton bomber, in its final test before its service in the British army, crashed into San Diego bay. His death" halted F. B. I. officials from conducting an Intensified investigation into the mishap, He was the last of the bomber's victims to die. Ink of Fife The hand of fate was both kind and cruel to Marshall. Twice it flung obstacles in his way, which were the keenest disappointments he had ever endured. His sweetheart's father died of heart attack while experiencing his first airplane ride with Marshall. It was on February 82, 1941, that he married lOss Virginia Hutchinson. after a flight across the United States, taking him Into Canada with a bomber ready for service in Britain's defense against Germany. Fate inserted its other sharp sting into the ambitioua son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McCannon of Ringwood, when in 1937 he and four co-workers saw their plane rolled and crashed, break ing the wing in a Jolting nose dive into the ground, In a test ran at the National Air races at Cleveland, Ohio. This plane was capable of speeding over 200 miles per hour, and had been designed by Marshall, built abi constructed by his co-workers and himself. Facing this "unlucky draw" in the races he returned to Ringwood with his parents, he having entertained them during the racing day 3. Last February, when he returned with his bride, he saw his parents for the last time, two years having elapsed since his previous visit. The San Diego Sun wrote the following of the cracked speeding plane, which was entered In the air races at Cleveland: "It zips across the sky like a bumble- bee in a bottle. Itclimbs like a monkey on a stick. The ship is so small the rudder feels like a collar button sticking On the back of your neck. You can look at the ground over the wing tips and if y6u don't have a close shave before you go up, the prop witll ti'lin your whiskers. She's as sensitive aa an old maid at a bridge party and with the slightest touch on the controls she starts do ing stunta. If you don't fly the ship every minute she'll do her own stunts." He was graduated from McHenry Community High school in 1934, haying enrolled at Richmond in his freshman and sophomore years. The fall of 1M4 he entered Parks Air school at St Louis, Ma, and after fifteen months training there, and having received his diploma, he entered the employ of the California company. He would have completed six years with the company this December. At Consolidated air field his talents were soon discovered, they matured there, and • aoon young 21-year-old Marshall McCannon was appointed chief of the mechanical department. His love for planes was not only of mechanical, or construction, but for designing aa well. He worked diUteatly and longed for furtherance in & designing field. Hls amfcWons the were met with extra hours of at home. His home bespoke habits of a young man with tloas to lead his field. In his dreaming boyhood days Mar* shall McCannon could not have pictured hiauelf the Marshall McCannon of Consolidated Air Craft, he ooaMa't have poesibiy foreseen the important role he was to play in his country s national ftifman. And only the Great Maker knew when Marshall McCannon had contributed his share to a world gone mad with war hysteria, and no one caa challenge the verdict of his Maker. The McHenry Plaindealer commented on September 1<. 1*87, ending a feature story en "young Marshall Mc- Cannon ' as follows "Marshall evidently has a bright and promising future ahead of him in which much may he accomplished." In aviation Marshall lived and died, he lived and died in the service--like a great hero soldier or a pioneer settler of a great country. His accomplishments were for mankind and Louis Marshall McCannon died the hero's death. Cqq. •eef ^ _ Thursday eftwttoon. . XMt ^ 'frelta* "^Joarway of Woodstock, Mis.
